This doctoral thesis portrays a reading of the work of Chantal Maillard, based on the assumption that her work is hypertextual by nature, and on a selection of subjects and metaphors studied in a comparative way, which arise from the specificity of the analysed work. The purpose of the planned analysis aims at answering the hypothesis that the thinking expressed through the studied texts is consubstantial with the structure showed in them, and compels the reader to an experience that contents the sense of the work. Both parts of the thesis, which can be read in an inverted order, try to show this hypothesis by means of a crossing study of the subjects that have focused the hermeneutic reading effort, here expressed, arising from the own character of the work. In the first part, I approach the specifity of the work focusing on three aspects linked with the literary theory: the hybridity of literary genres (chapter 1), the hypertextual structure (chapter 2) and the role of the reader on shaping the work (chapter 3). In the second part, I develop a cross-analysis of four subjects which have been systematically studied in the texts of the authoress: the doubtfulness of any metaphysical meaning of the language (chapter 4), the desire and the loss of hope (chapter 5), the disintegration of the ego (chapter 6), and, finally, the awareness of the dissolution of the conscience in search of an innocent condition previous to the "logos" (chapter 7). The thematic tours that I put forward in this study arose, in part from the particular reading experience, and, on the other hand, from the textual task of the writing, that is shaped like a net in which the reader designs his own path. For that reason, the texts are treated in a crossing way, according to the subjects that the authoress herself repeats and remakes continuously, like fugues in a musical composition.
